You could query pg_depend to find out which tables and columns the
view's rewrite rule depends on but that's not as specific as what
you're requesting. I'm not aware of a way to associate a particular
table column with a particular view column short of parsing the view
definition or rule action; doing so would have to allow for the
possibility of a view column deriving its value from an arbitrarily
complex expression involving multiple tables, subqueries, etc.
